In recent years, our institute has carried out extensive technical exchange and cooperation with several countries in an effort to internationalize the institute. Design companies and manufacturing companies from more than 30 countries came to our institute fortechnical exchange, joint design or negotiation for cooperation. Up to now our institute has sent staff abroad for study, investigation and design for more than 1580 man-times.
